After driving my BII for roughly 20 mins or so the oil pressure drops to where the engine will cut out at stop lights (almost like it is stalling). This problem is avoided by putting the deuce into neutral (automatic). I just changed the oil in this thing, and had this issue prior to my last oil change. I just put Castrol full syn 5-w30 into the motor this last weekend. (it had 10-w40 and that didnt have any pressure issues, but developed the 2.9 click at that point)
I am not the most motor inclined but perform all mait on this truck that i have had for about 9 months now (tires, battery hookups/battery, cooling system, oil changes). I want to have this thing up to par since I will be relocating from NC to FLA next year. When I get their I will be looking to replace the motor with a 4.0, but want to keep this thing running before then. Is there any advice you guys have?
